UNDERRATED: 'The Cabin in the Woods' (2012)

A welcome addition to the queue of lower expectations that is the Netflix streaming library, this film co-written by "Buffy" mastermind Joss Whedon is less of a horror movie than a piercingly dark comedy about horror movies themselves. Chris Hemsworth of "Thor" may be the cast's biggest name, but the stars are "The West Wing's" Bradley Whitford and the fantastic Richard Jenkins, who steal every scene as the dryly effective engineers behind the curtain.
